Description This has to be done.

Slightly insipired by "...by any other name" strip, [link] it occurred to me that there's a grat difference between DAO and DA2: sluttyness of some charit's somehow easier to develop a relationship with other characters, by simply choosing a combination of signed answers and then "enjoy" the cutscene. Well, I still prefer, origins.

I'm of two minds about DA:2. I absolutely love it, but I prefer Origins for it's wide range of choices, but DA:2 is just to much fun, in my opinion. They could have made it way better, but I though it was fun. I just wish you could have been an Arcane Warrior in it, and you could talk to your companions...

Great pic! I need to get more art up of my Wardens. I have like... ten pictures I'm to lazy to post.

In genere io uso quelli che "aggiustano" le cose: bug-fixer, modifiche estetiche per cose davvero urende o espansioni che non tocchino l'esistente.

Somehow there has been an overload of deviations in my inbox and yours were in the 6th page, so I almost miss them.

Gotta love Ewan expressions in all the panels. And they may say DAO lacks expressivity, but definitely I feel there are more potential fun in the cutscenes than in DA2...

Abadir In reply to SoniaCarreras [2011-05-13 07:36:46 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean... So many watch, so little time...

I think the greatest part of the fun in DAO was that you could fill the dialogues with the lines that you wanted, with this "cinematic experience" you miss great part of the fun...

More over when work starts becoming tricky. Damn! I hate my job! I could use hug right now... we had to give bad news to my co-workers and it sounded as it if was my fault

For me it is more that the character actually says what she means to say, not what a line suggests and someone else interpretates . Dialogs also seem to be longer and richer in DAO (yesterday I got the "gossip talk" with Alistair again and definitely I miss something like that in DA2). Hehe, I think I'm going to get all the interesting talks before Orzammar again, but I enjoy so much all those camp talks!!!

Aww... the gossip talk... strange that Varric doesn't have something like that...
Before Orzammar? I ran out of dialogue options before making the first main quest!

SoniaCarreras In reply to Abadir [2011-05-13 11:52:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I needed it!

It's funny, in my original playthrough I only got it at the end of the story, and it was weird because Alistair wasn't very talkative to Yllwenn after they broke up. It's true that this time their relationship has been much faster (due to that Zevran ASAP mod, which made everything rushed, but too to all the times I click on the companions by mistake, damn mouse!!!! It was easier to control on the PS3!) and it makes much more sense now. Specially because I could tease him about being jealous of Zevran (and he doesn't know he really has reasons to be ).

Oh my I'm enjoying this new playthrough too much for a sane mind

Well I'm still starting the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest, so go figure .

Strange that none of the DA2 companions have proper conversations, after all

Hey, with TetasMorrigan, Anora's boobies and Wynne-of-the-magical-bosom I want to know who HASN'T looked at them... I have read that Dragon Age is considered a "gay friendly fantasy series", they had to compensate somewhere...

In effetti... e poi in Origins non era così troia, voglio dire... una Isabela alla DA2 sarebbe stata molto più allusiva di come appare in Origins...

Confesso che a DA2 devo ancora giocare, ma quel che ho letto/visto/sentito mi ha lasciata davvero malissimo sui compagni del gruppo. ._.
E comunque una come Isabela, gnocca o meno, mi farebbe schifo ugualmente. >_> Molto meglio Morrigan come femme fatale: almeno non la dava a chiunque. XD

What can I say. I like it and it's true. I haven't finished DA2 yet but so far I find myself 'caring' more for the characters in DAO. Then again, I do like the new rivalry/friendship system. It seems more real to me since I've plenty of friends with whom I don't agree and yet, we're friends.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Abadir In reply to Gaspode5 [2011-05-12 09:49:30 +0000 UTC]

Meh, the friendship/rivalry system works but it's the romance system that doesn't, IMHO. Relationship are easier to start, easier to end, there's no "jealousy dialogue" if you bed one then another, it's just so... flat. Plus, you have just a few dialogues with each of them, and near to zero possibilities to unlock new ones. Maybe the amount of conversation you can have with each of them is not so different than the one in Origins, but the feeling is poorer.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Gaspode5 In reply to Abadir [2011-05-12 13:50:10 +0000 UTC]

It certainly feels less 'organic'. I preferred the fact that you could choose whenever you wanted to speak to your companions in DAO. I also preferred to have these little 'interludes' when you could kiss/hug your LI whenever you wanted. It felt more real than these carefully spaced out scenes dumped on you when you'd reached certain points in the game. In short I agree. If they could combine these two ideas...

Abadir In reply to Gaspode5 [2011-05-12 14:51:14 +0000 UTC]

The problem of these scenes it that they are put as ridiculous quests. I was playing a beginning of a act while my housemate stared at my monitor and asked me: "Wait... your quest is now going to speak with Fenris? What kind of quest is that?"

warped4life In reply to Abadir [2011-05-13 07:28:33 +0000 UTC]

well I really wasn't looking at anora's bum. I was really more thinking bout the male mage's. they're dudes. not many dudes have big butts yet they have some fairly big ones. I'm a girl so I wasn't really looking at the mage girls butts. oh btw that quote about Flemeth? How are you not dead? And when did you get hot? is funny. Though I still love my brother's quote. OMG! She has the body of a 20 year old but the face of an old woman. I'M SO CONFUSED!!!
